A Trip to...

Speyer
Taking the advice of one of our friends, we headed off to this small town just West of Heidelberg.  After the run-down train station and the streets filled with Turkish teenagers spitting every other step, we weren't too impressed.  Luckily, the closer we came to the old part of town, the better it got.
Fancy House

 Speyer High School

Downtown Speyer and the Pilgrim 
(marking the old pilgrimage path to the burial of the apostle James in Spain)





















The Cathedral and other Churches










Despite our first impression, Speyer turned out to be pretty great.  Not to mention, they had the cheapest Gelato yet.
